Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 5.18.19 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: Check for NOT_READY flag state after locking
Currently the check for NOT_READY flag is performed before obtaining the
necessary lock. This opens a possibility for race condition when the flow
is concurrently removed from unready_flows list by the workqueue task,
which causes a double-removal from the list and a crash[0]. Fix the issue
by moving the flag check inside the section protected by
uplink_priv->unready_flows_lock mutex.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: brcmfmac: ensure CLM version is null-terminated to prevent stack-out-of-bounds
Fix a stack-out-of-bounds read in brcmfmac that occurs
when 'buf' that is not null-terminated is passed as an argument of
strreplace() in brcmf_c_preinit_dcmds(). This buffer is filled with
a CLM version string by memcpy() in brcmf_fil_iovar_data_get().
Ensure buf is null-terminated.
Found by a modified version of syzkaller.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: qup: Don't skip cleanup in remove's error path
Returning early in a platform driver's remove callback is wrong. In this
case the dma resources are not released in the error path. this is never
retried later and so this is a permanent leak. To fix this, only skip
hardware disabling if waking the device fails.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: nl80211: fix integer overflow in nl80211_parse_mbssid_elems()
nl80211_parse_mbssid_elems() uses a u8 variable num_elems to count the
number of MBSSID elements in the nested netlink attribute attrs, which can
lead to an integer overflow if a user of the nl80211 interface specifies
256 or more elements in the corresponding attribute in userspace. The
integer overflow can lead to a heap buffer overflow as num_elems determines
the size of the trailing array in elems, and this array is thereafter
written to for each element in attrs.
Note that this vulnerability only affects devices with the
wiphy->mbssid_max_interfaces member set for the wireless physical device
struct in the device driver, and can only be triggered by a process with
CAP_NET_ADMIN capabilities.
Fix this by checking for a maximum of 255 elements in attrs.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/i915: Make intel_get_crtc_new_encoder() less oopsy
The point of the WARN was to print something, not oops
straight up. Currently that is precisely what happens
if we can't find the connector for the crtc in the atomic
state. Get the dev pointer from the atomic state instead
of the potentially NULL encoder to avoid that.
(cherry picked from commit 3b6692357f70498f617ea1b31a0378070a0acf1c)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clk: imx: scu: use _safe list iterator to avoid a use after free
This loop is freeing "clk" so it needs to use list_for_each_entry_safe().
Otherwise it dereferences a freed variable to get the next item on the
loop.
